I don't know if I can show my food here. Love the pics. -
Richard Chrz they look beautiful. That was a great experience for me. I'm hoping to make bread this weekend.

Since I'm showing what I'm not cooking above I may as well share this meal I enjoyed at my friend's house not long ago as well. They served Bibimbap and it was great. He's from Japan while she is from Vietnam and she is a very good cook. She's also an expert on all the best places to get Asian food in town.

I'm an MMD fan too, Alan Brice . I try other rubs but keep coming back to it. I'll check in to those racks. Do you use your infrared burner on the back wall of the Weber gasser with them?

fzxdoc I am embarrassed to admit, after drooling over a Weber, a Blaze n a few others, my grill allowance regulated me in to the all SS Victory. It is made in China. It has an infrared side burner that I have not utilized as of yet. Funds kept me from exploring other Mfg’rs. 6 hun got the grill n a rotisserie. Just not the ribs opt.

Thank you
I got lucky on the insert fitting so well AND my MCS is in remission because I have been looking at the Titan Santa Maria....If I use the insert a bunch I can always upgrade but this is a great solution. -
That is just outstanding! I’ve looked at that insert for the kettle. Just not really something I want to have to figure out where to store when not in use. But i love how you added that to an already awesome cooker!
More pics of that as you use it!!!Last edited by barelfly; September 15, 2022, 07:45 PM. -
It weighs 25-30 lbs, THe smoker sits under a pavilion and the Santa maria will just sit on the fire box. I will just park it under my work table when I am running the smoker.
No bolts or clamps, just set it on the firebox!!
I am usually not this lucky....the 1st cook was really good

Wife wanted chicken, who was I to argue? My poultry seasoning and some Bama white sauce,

Bad Hat BBQ, when making this chicken, the pressure comes from my wife. Her dad was known for some of the best grilled chicken around, he was just a driveway hack like me. Chicken really meant brandy and the brewers while sitting watching a grill. But, my wife told me I missed the mark, likely 400 times before I started to figure it out, and seasoning, she is quick to let me know if my chicken is not up to par! Lol -
Draznnl, some may say I am my worst critic, but, my wife is straight up with me on food. She knows I have this idea of, (Can I ?) do something with food, so she is quick to knock the scaffolding from under me, if appropriate. Equally though to share the gratitude for a good meal as well.

Since I was able to eke out a win in the last Smackdown, thanks to my timely donation to the judges’ re-election campaigns, I decided to embark on a new and more demanding challenge. And, for all you who doubt the abilities of us pellet pooper owners, stand in awe at this. Behold, open fire cooking.
Select hardwoods ready to be set ablaze.
After the coals had rendered, it was time for some serious cave-man cooking in my open pit stick burner.
Spicy brown mustard and Paul’s Special Relish is all this dog needs. (Paul’s Place is a vintage Esso station in Rocky Point, NC, just north of Wilmington. Beverly Paul, the founder of the joint and relish, was well know in the area for his famous hot dogs, even though they were full of red dye and boiled.)
Buttered and toasted brioche, split-top bun, Nathan’s hot dog, Gulden’s spicy brown and Paul’s relish. Can I get an amen?
Temps have finally dropped here so the fire pit has been pressed into action.Comment

Thought I was going to make pulled beef, but made jerky instead.....
Had two pieces of chuck shoulder. Seasoned them with my own beef rub last night so they could dry brine over night. Snuck a few pieces of garlic in the meat, as I needed to use it up. Fired up the Kamander early this morning and tried to use my new pellet tube for a long smoke. That failed, as there was just not enough oxygen to keep the pellets burning.
Temps held pretty steady between 215 and 230. Here is right about where they hit the stall, about 160F:
Pretty, right? Well....I crutched them, which was probably a bad idea. I had to leave for an appointment, which ran late, and when I came back, the internal temps were 210F. Oops.
I popped them in my upper oven to deal with later. Opened them up after dinner:
And then sliced them:
So I made jerky and shoe leather. Some of the meat was moist, most seems to be dry. There was some good flavor on the meat I sampled. Barely any smoke ring because I had to keep relighting the pellets in the tube. Apparently this is not the ideal way to smoke on my Kamander for low and slow, because the pellets kept extinguishing. I actually made pellet charcoal, kind of funny in a way.
We'll see what I can salvaged tomorrow. You win some and lose some. Thankfully I already had pork chops on the menu for dinner, which was a winner, though no pics.

Thanks all for your comments. I figure I can't just show my wins, I must show when it just goes sideways.
fzxdoc, chopped meat sounds like a good option, and maybe chili as you and SheilaAnn suggest. I did not add any liquid, but I've never done pulled beef. I usually braise this cut of meat, but I was trying something different. I generally use cherry and/or maple chunks, but was trying the pellet tube. Not enough oxygen, but lesson learned there.

Did a nice bird and sweet potato steak fries for dinner. The fryer did a two day soak in olive oil and Webers kickin chicken seasoning. Then just a light dust of same before grilling.
Sweet potatoes quartered and given a quick coating of olive oil, cinnamon, brown sugar and ground ginger then roasted. A family favorite side.

Tamarind and coconut chicken with dipping sauce for game night. Got my TV mounted just in time for the Chargers-Chiefs game and enjoyed it with my two of my sons and 2 of their pals, plus my next door neighbor who started at middle linebacker 6 seasons for the Jaguars. It's fun to watch football with someone who knows the game so well. A great night. This dish will most definitely be repeated.

Such a beautiful area. My cookers never got invited in, -
Thanks Richard Chrz - we will have to formulate a strategery to overcome the resistance may encounter, but it can be done.

Last night's dinner creamy Mushroom Linguine. Diverted slightly from the recipe and threw in some bacon pieces. (Forgot to take a pic when it was cooked and put together so had to take 1 of the leftovers)
